Semiclassical theory of optically bistable laser by output-feedback pumping scheme

Steady-state solutions of the output-feedback pumped bistable laser(OFPBL)have been obtained using the semiclassical laser equations.A linear-stability of the solutionshas been analysed.The results tell us that width of the hysteresis loop and the laser output in-tensity vary widely with the pump intensity and the intensity of input optical signal and thefeedback coefficient of the laser output as well as the other parameters.It shows that this typeof bistable laser is a kind of active optical bistable device which can be adjusted and controlledconveniently.     

Structural and electronic properties of chiral single-wall copper nanotubes

The structural,energetic and electronic properties of chiral(n,m)(3≤n≤6,n/2≤m≤n)single-wall copper nanotubes(CuNTs)have been investigated by using projector-augmented wave method based on density-functional theory.The(4,3)CuNT is energetically stable and should be observed experimentally in both free-standing and tip-suspended conditions,whereas the(5,5)and(6,4)CuNTs should be observed in free-standing and tip-suspended conditions,respectively.The number of conductance channels in the CuNTs does not always correspond to the number of atomic strands comprising the nanotube.Charge density contours show that there is an enhanced interatomic interaction in CuNTs compared with Cu bulk.Current transporting states display different periods and chirality,the combined effects of which lead to weaker chiral currents on CuNTs.     

Structural,electronic,optical,elastic properties and Born effective charges of monoclinic HfO_2 from first-principles calculations

First-principles calculations of structural, electronic, optical, elastic, mechanical properties, and Born effective charges of monoclinic HfO2 are performed with the plane-wave pseudopotential technique based on the density-functional theory. The calculated structural properties are consistent with the previous theoretical and experimental results. The electronic structure reveals that monoclinic HfO2 has an indirect band gap. The analyses of density of states and Mulliken charges show mainly covalent nature in Hf-O bonds. Optical properties, including the dielectric function, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity, absorption coefficient, loss function, and optical conductivity each as a function of photon energy are calculated and show an optical anisotropy. Moreover, the independent elastic constants, bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young＇s modulus, Poisson＇s ratio, compressibility, Lam6 constant, sound velocity, Debye temperature, and Born effective charges of monoclinic HfO2 are obtained, which may help to understand monoclinic HfO2 for future work.     

Electronic and optical properties of black phosphorus doped with Au,Sn and I atoms

In this study, the electronic and the optical properties of monolayer black phosphorus (BP) doped with Gold (Au), Tin (Sn) and Iodine (I) atoms have been investigated by the density-functional theory (DFT) method. In the calculations, the electronic and the optical properties of monolayer BP have been substantially changed with doping. Monolayer BP has a narrow bandgap as 0.85 eV, BP doped with these atoms, results in a metallic behaviour and nearly spin gapless band gap behaviour. The dielectric constant of BP which shows anisotropic optical properties due to different edge states as zigzag and armchair has been changed with doping especially with Au.     

On the exact formulation of multi-configuration density-functional theory: electron density versus orbitals occupation

The exact formulation of multi-configuration density-functional theory is discussed in this work. As an alternative to range-separated methods, where electron correlation effects are split in the coordinate space, the combination of configuration interaction methods with orbital occupation functionals is explored at the formal level through the separation of correlation effects in the orbital space. When applied to model Hamiltonians, this approach leads to an exact site-occupation embedding theory (SOET). An adiabatic connection expression is derived for the complementary bath functional and a comparison with density matrix embedding theory is made. Illustrative results are given for the simple two-site Hubbard model. SOET is then applied to a quantum chemical Hamiltonian, thus leading to an exact complete active space site-occupation functional theory (CASSOFT) where active electrons are correlated explicitly within the CAS and the remaining contributions to the correlation energy are described with an orbital occupation functional. The computational implementation of SOET and CASSOFT as well as the development of approximate functionals are left for future work.

High contrast all-optical diode based on direction-dependent optical bistability within asymmetric ring cavity

We propose a simple all-optical diode which is comprised of an asymmetric ring cavity containing a two-level atomic ensemble. Attributed to spatial symmetry breaking of the ring cavity, direction-dependent optical bistability is obtained in a classical bistable system. Therefore, a giant optical non-reciprocity is generated, which guarantees an all-optical diode with a high contrast up to 22 d B. Furthermore, its application as an all-optical logic AND gate is also discussed.

Optical bistability and multistability in a three-level Δ-type atomic system under the nonresonant condition

Under a nonresonant condition, we theoretically investigate hybrid absorptive-dispersive optical bistability and multistability behaviours in a three-level Δ-type system by using a microwave field to drive a hyperfine transition between two upper excited states inside a unidirectional ring cavity. We find that the optical bistability and multistability behaviours can be controlled by adjusting the intensity of the microwave field or the intensity of the coherent coupling field. Furthermore, our studies show an interesting phenomenon of the transition from the optical bistability to the optical multistability only by changing the negative detuning of the coupling field into the positive detuning of the coupling field.     

Application of accelerated-convergence technique to modified Lanczos calculations

Summary The use of modified Lanczos procedure to obtain the ground-state eigenvalue and eigenvector of the Hamiltonians of physical systems and its subsequent modification for the determination of excited states has been revealed a very efficient and powerful procedure. Nevertheless, when implementing the method, one notices that the convergence of the algorithm is very slow, so that the calculation may become heavy from a computational point of view. The aim of this paper is the proposal of an accelerated-convergence technique (which has already been successfully used in density-of-states calculations), that allows to obtain a faster convergence of the modified Lanczos eigenvalues to the exact ones. The advantages of such a technique are shown through the discussion of some examples.     

Phase conjugation of gap solitons: A numerical study

We study the effect of a nearby phase-conjugate mirror (PCM) on the gap soliton of a Kerr non-linear periodic structure. We show that phase conjugation of the gap soliton (in the sense of replication of the amplitude profile in the reverse direction) is possible under the condition of PCM reflectivity approaching unity. This is in contrast with the results for linear structures, where the wave profiles can be conjugated for arbitrary values of the PCM reflectivity. The sensitivity of the conjugation of the gap solitons to PCM reflectivity is ascribed to the fine balance of non-linearity with dispersion, necessary for their existence.

Influence of frequency noise on nascent hysteresis in optical bistability

We study the influence of frequency noise on optical bistability in the neighborhood of the critical point where the hysteresis loop appears. We show that when the transmitted field evolves on a faster time scale than that of the noise, the hysteresis loop shifts toward lower values of the incident pumping field.

Density-functional theory study on the electronic properties of laves phase superconductor CaIr_2

In this work we have used density-functional theory methods such as full-potential local orbital minimum basis(FPLO) and ELK-flapw to study the electronic structure of newly discovered Laves phase superconductor CaIr_2.The calculation of density of states(DOS) indicates that the bands near Fermi level are mostly occupied by the d-electrons of iridium.The simulation of de Haas-van Alphen(dHvA) effect has been performed by using Elk code to check the Fermi surface topology.The results show that there exist four Fermi surfaces in CaIr_2,including two electron-type and two hole-type surfaces.The optical response properties of CaIr_2 have been calculated in the dipole-transition approximations combined with including intra-band Drude-like terms.In the optical spectrum σ(ω) shows that the crossover from intraband to inter-band absorption occur near 1.45 eV.Further analysis on the electron energy loss spectra(EELS) matches the conclusion from that of optical conductivity σ(ω).
